HBO Max is phenomenal. They seem to be going a different route (pushing quality) than Netflix (algorithms generating low-budget reality shows).

- danielbln 5y agoApple+ is also slowly entering that bracket (with stuff like Severance) and I'm here for it.
- JackFr 5y agoLiked Ted Lasso season 1. Underwhelmed by most of the other offerings. Also I can’t cast Apple TV which is a big downside.

- MobiusHorizons 5y agoNot the op, but I read this as lack of chromecast support
- mcphage 5y agoAh, okay.
- bombcar 5y agoIt's slightly possible that HBO has a longer track record making good content than Netflix does; not everything can be solved by throwing money at it.
- smt88 5y agoHBO Max started out with decades of inexpensive, quality content via Warner. Netflix had to either buy or build content. Netflix did poach proven talent, but even then, it was people like Shonda Rimes and the guys who botched Game of Thrones.
- bombcar 5y agoNetflix failed to buy a studio; you can poach talent but poaching an entire structure is harder to do. Netflix has spent more on original content than Amazon did to buy MGM, though they apparently have spent less than Disney did on Fox.
